The Ashes 2025

[Wizard]

It probably already was but surely that is game over

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

The most important day of the Ashes and it looks bleak for England.

Wow. 98/4 and Brook smacks it for 6 over cover.

Bazbored

13 off the over. More Bazball than Bazbored. Can’t always do right for wrong.

 

[Wizard]

Well done Snicko

 

[Wizard]

Oh ffs. Good ball again though. Too late to get Jack Leach in?

I'm not sure it was a good ball tbh, maybe I'm being harsh, it's not done anything and Brook played it with an angled bat again. I'd expect it to be kept out if I was ranked in the top 5 in the world.

I think it was a good ball. Not an amazing one but don’t think it’s terrible to get out to that.

Probably being too kind to them given how many we’ve just thrown away.

 

[McBain]

Snicko!

 

[Chewbacca]

How bad would this have been if the Aussies had been able to put their best team out?

 

[14_dollars]

Follow on avoided.

Small mercies.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Stokes looking like he's batted for 3 days in Mumbai, not 100 balls in Australia. Jesus wept.

 

[Norlye]

It must be a Antipodean thing this cheating.

Aussies good enough at cricket, NZ best in rugby, but both hugely unlikeable teams.

Having said that, this Bazball England team come across as hugely unlikeable and losers.

Another morning waking up to a very disappointing scorecard

Absolutely remarkable they made no changes to the batting line up. This team and management needs enormous changes
